“What could be better for our retired city workers who are willing and able to return to work? They can do it through our Department of Senior Citizens,” Mayor Eric Adams said. “The skills, knowledge and experience our retirees have gained over the years will benefit the city and enable us to be more age inclusive.”

How Silver Stars works

Silver Stars members work part-time. They are assigned projects that usually last for a year, depending on the needs of the agency. Program participants will share their knowledge and experience with new employees.

“Because people are now living longer than before, many older people work at a later age. Silver Stars programs not only give them the opportunity to find a job, but also allow the city to benefit from their vast knowledge,” said Lorraine Cortez-Vazquez, Commissioner for the Department of Seniors.

Silver Star members will earn up to $35 per year. They can be those who have retired from the municipal service and receive a pension from the city pension system. In addition, they must be residents of New York, unless otherwise required by the job requirements.

The Department of Senior Citizens is working with the Office of the Budget to quickly post vacancies. Although no specific positions have been identified yet, the Silver Stars program places people where their skills will work best.

“The Silver Stars program is a win-win. It provides NYC retirees with the opportunity to continue helping children and families. And at the same time, it allows the city to benefit from their skills and knowledge,” said Children's Administration Commissioner Jess Dannhauser.

The Silver Stars program is built on success Older Adult Employment Program Department of Senior Citizens. Several programs already exist to help older New Yorkers access employment opportunities. You can read about them here.

Retirees seeking Silver Star employment can send an email to [email protected] or call Aging Connect at 212-Aging-NYC (212-244-6469).
